Baree Lake is a short, easy hike in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, part of the Libby Ranger District of Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is about 0.6 miles long, with a one-way climb of just 22 feet from a low point of about 5,510 feet to a high of about 5,529 feet. The route is an out-and-back on natural ground, and bikes are not allowed. It's a quick outing that fits easily into a day spent exploring the surrounding wilderness. Several other trails lie within a short drive. Divide Cutoff and the Divide Cutoff Trail are each about a mile away, and Cabinet Divide East is about 1.5 miles off.
